pository of  the  largest  possible  amtniiit  of  iisefnl  iiifnnnation  :  embra- 
cing every  variety  of  knowled^^e — atitniai  strttistics  frwn  all  the  States 
in  the  Confederacy,  nhowing  the  proprerfs  in  Pupulatidii,  Manufactures, 
Commerce,  Wealth,  nnd  all  the  elements  of  prosperity. 

Of  the  information  cdntained  in  this  vdlunie.  great  pains  has  been 
taken  to  make  them  as  accurate  as  possibl**  from  the  resources  at  hand. 
The  Keports  of  the  Departments  of  the  C'onfedur.ite  Government  have 
been  t^tken  from  the  l.itest  offnial  (Inciiiiniits,  and  will  he  found  inter- 
esting. 

Mu(th  valuable  information  lias  l»ecn  compiled  from  the  flnited  States 
census  of  1800,  which  will  he  fmnd  exceedingly  interesting  at  the 
present  time.

)  ared  with  great  car«\  The  dates  of  the  batt'es,  will  he  found  accu- 
rate ;  the  number  of  killecl  and  wounde«l  in  l»attli's,  has  been  gathered 
from  <tfHcial  reports,  as  far  as  published.  Although  in  nu'st  cases  they 
have  been  estimated  from  sta*em»'nta  of  correspondents,  they  will  be 
found  in  the  n)ain  to  b«*  nearly  correct. 

The  Astronomical  calculations,  &c.,  have  been  prepared  by  Thomas 
P.  A8huH»re,  of  Gv'orgia.  The  calculations  will  be  found  full  and  ac- 
curate. In  a  work  like  this,  designed  to  embrace  so  much  variety  of 
matter,  there  is  no  doubt  S(tme  errors.  The  compiler  would  be  uncb'r 
obligations  to  the  patrons  oi'  the  work  for  any  valuable  hints,  comniu

The  central  Eclipse  will  first  be  seen  at  Olympia  in  Washington 
Territory;  and  it  will  be  seen  last  at  Timbuctoo  in  Africa.  The 
central  Eclipse  at  noon,  will  be  in  Lititude-23°  54^  N. Longitude 
64°  16^  W.  In  the  above  table.  Longitude  is  reckoned  from 
Greenwich,  England.  Th^  centre  of  this  Eclipse  will  pass  about 
210  miles  North  of  Columbus  Ga.  and  ab  ut  150  mile -i^S^orth  of 
Macon,  Ga.  and  about  70  miles  Norti  of  Augusta,  Ga.  It  will 
pass  near  Columbia,  S.  C. 


1805— ALMANAC— 1865 

In  man  V  respects,  this  will  be  th  •  most  remarkable  of  Eclipses 
that  will  occur  in  the  Confede/a'c  States,  during  the  present  cen- 
tury: It  will  be  annular;  that  is,  the  apparent  size  of  the  Moon 
will  not  be  lar^  ■  enough  to  conce  1  the  whole  disk  of  the  Sun  : 
therefore  at  all  places  where  .he  Eclipse  will  be  annular,  the 
edje  of  the  Sun,  all  around  th  •  d  rk  body  of  thi-  M  on,  will  re- 
semble a  red-hot  ring  of  iron.  If  the  the  air  be  clear,  several 
Planets  a'  d  Fixed  Stars  will  be  visible  in  different  parts  of  he 
skyeat,  the  tim  of  the  annular  Eclipse.  The  Planet  Venus  will 
06  seen  about  30*^  West  of  th  ■  Sun.  The  Planet  Jupiter  will  be 
seen  about  60°  Tast  of  him  ;  and  liegulus  will  be  s  en  about  60 
o  Wf'St  of  him.  Ursa  Major  near  the  North  Poeof  the  heave  s, 
and  Spica  ab  ut  11°  west  of  the  JSun.  and  Arcturuj  about  30°  N 
of  him,  and  many  othe.s  in  different  parts  of  the  heavans  will  be 
distinctly  visible  to  the  n  ked  rye,  if  the  air  be  very  serene. 

Not  many  persona  have  had  a  i  opportunity  of  seeing  the  Sun 
either  toiallv  or  annularly  eclipsed:  therefore,  all  the  particu- 
lars of  ihis  Eclipse  have  been  calculated  with  much  prolixity 
and  care,  in  order  that  all  persons  who  will  then  be  living, 
may  witness  a  g^and  Phenomenon  of  nature,  which  in  all  pro- 
bability, they  will  never  vvitness  again.  If  the  exact  app^'rent 
time  of  the  beginning  and  end  of  a  solar  Eclipse,  at  any  pi  ce, 
be  noted  from  correct  observatfons,  the  longitude  of  that  place 
can  be  correcty  computed ;  and  this  method  is  the  only  correct 
one. 

Note. — Notie  of  the  Problems  for  1864,  have  been  solved;  i)erhaps 
the  Mathematicians  of  our  country  are  so  m?ich  engaged  in  military 
affair.-^  that  the\-  cannot  find  leisure  time  to  apply  their  minds  to  the 
solnti<m  of  difficult  Problems.  Therefore,  the  insertion  of  Problems  in 
this  Almanac,  has  been  omitted  ;  but  it]|  will  be  resumed  whenever  a 
more  propitious  year  r&Jls  in  siglit.

remarkable,  and  would  scorn  to  fix  her  destiny  with  the  Con- 
federate States,  while  the  decrease  in  Maryland  and  Dela-

tract the  following  : 

The  general  estin^v'e  has  been  8  to  18  horses  in  Europa 
to  every  hundied  inhabitants.  Denmark  has  45  hoi -js  for

This  famous  sire  w\ns  imported  into  England  about  110  year* 
ago.  In  tix;tting,  the  American  horses  have  been  superk>r 
to  those  of  all  other  nations  for  mnnv  years.

From  Iheso  two  stafe^ncnts  it  appears  that  ^^n7,022, 
3^0  50  of  the  non-interest  bctiring  issues  have  been  redeem- 
^  and  cancelled.  This  amount  includes  onlj'  such  noles  as 
have  been  regularly  cancelled  and  de3tro)rd  in  pursuance  of 
warrants  from  the  Treasury.  There  Is  always  in  the  handt 
of  the  depoiiitaVies  notes  not  yet  reported  for  destruction. 
We  have  heard  the  amount  thus  hvld  at  present,  apait  from 
th«  (^^ur  per  cent,  funding,  estimated  at  ten  raillioRs.

l^ere  13  but  Utile  doubt  that  the  fundiinr,  east  and  west 
ef  the  Mississippi,  will  aMiotint,  (o  thn-e  hundred  million?. 
The  total  issue  outstanding  Match  31<.t  is  thereby  f^duoed 
say  to  $485,000,000.  Of  ihis,  a  consideianlc  portion,  pro- 
feably  a  hundred  million*:,  is  in  hniKlird  dollar  notes.  Ex- 
•ludi'ng  these,  we  have  J^385,000,{i00  Kfi  ;  of  which,  the  is- 
sues olTive  dollars  and  under  ainMiMit,  t{»  $90  909  893  50. 
Suppose  $85,000,000  of  tht^se  an*  now  in  .citculaiion,  ai:d 
we- have  for  all  others  $300  000  000,  ,vn  hich  the  tax  of  one- 
third  has  reiluced  to  $200  000  000.  The  total  circulation  at 
the  present  time,  irrespective  of  the  nt^w  i.-rsue,  is,  therefore, 
.]jarge!y  less  than  th^sR  hundred  milliont*^  and  of  this  a  con.- 
sideral»le  annount  is  always  to  be  foutid  in  the  hands  of  the 
4lsbnrsing  officers  and  depositarie-*. 

Wo  have  not  included  in  the  above  any  estimate  of  the 
amount  of  circulation  lost  or  destroyed,  and  thereby  gained 
10  the  Government.     It  is  doubtless  considerable. 

The  amount  of  currency  which  has  been  cancelled  and  de- 
fctroyed  (irrespective  of  the  operaiimi  of  the  present  curren- 
cy law)  i«  nearly  twenty  per  cent.,  of  the  \Nhole  issue.  If 
this  reduction  be  applied  to  the  five  dollar  notes,-th8  amount, 
»»f  these  in  circulation  would  appear  lu  be ^^ 63. 272,253,

May  31.  Fight  near  Morganza,  La. 
'  The  month  of  May,  which  has  just  closed,  might  be  term- 
ed "  bloody  May."  The  terrible  and  unprecedented  carn- 
nrrQ  in  Virginia,  Georgia,  and  other  portions  of  the  Confede- 
racy where  the  opposing  armies  have  met,  would  seem  to 
give  it  that  designation.  A  friend,  who  has  taken  the  trou- 
ble to  make  a  rough  estimate  of  the  killed  in  battle  since 
the  first  of  May,  has  given  his  calculation  : 

la  Virginia — Yankees 30,000 

la  Virginia— Confederates 10,000—40,000 

In  Georgia— Yankees 12,000 

In  Georgia— Confederates 5,000—17,000 

In  the  West— Yankees 9,000 

hi  the  West— Confederates 4,000—13,000 

Total  killed  in  May, .70,000 

Both  armies  sufTered  severely  in  the  loss  of  officers.  In 
Virgiuia  alone,  since  the  commencement  of  the  long  fight 
with  Grant,  we  have  lost  nineteen  Generals — seven  killed, 
ten  wounded  and-  two  captured.  The  names  of  the  killed 
are  Stuart,  Jenkins,  Stafford,  Jones,  Julius  Daniel,  Gordon 
of  Norih  Carolina,  and  Perrin  of  South  Carolina.  Those 
oiptured  are  Geijjl  Edward  Johnson  and  GenT Walker. 

The  Yankee  loss  in  Generals  is  eq«illy  as  large  as  ours. 
The  New  York  Herald  itself  admits  the  followiiig  loss  : 

Killed— M;ij.  Gen.  James  E.  \Vadsworth,^faj.  Gen.  Sedg- 
wick, B:ig.  Gen'l  ilaynes,  Gen'l  Webb,  Gen.  Taylor,  Gen'l

A  COMPARATIVE  VIEW  OF  THE  CAPITAL,  • 
WEALTH  AND  ANNUAL  PRODUCT  OF 
THE  NORTHERN  AND  SOUTHERN 
STATES. 

The  first,  attempt  to  obtain  the  data  by  actual  investijj;a- 
tion  was  made  by  the  United  States  Marshals  in  1840. 
Since  that  tinr»e  we  have  official  valuations  more  and  more 
complete  at  the  end  of  each  census  decade.  That  these  three 
inventories  of  the  property  of  t*he  Union  are  all  defective  in 
the  matters  intended  to  be  embraced,  and  under-stated  also 
in  valuation,  is  well  knov.'n.  There  is  not  an  item  in  which 
they  are  suspected  of  overstatement. 

We  are  indebted  to  Professor  Tucker  for  his  digest  of  the 
Cansus  of  1840,  and  to  him  and  the  Secretary  of  tiie  Treos- 
ury  (Mr.  Guthrie)  for  the  like  service  in  1850.  The  valua- 
tion of  property  in  18G0  for  the  Union  and  for  the  loyal 
St-ates,  we  have  from  the  Census  Bureau.  From  the  official 
returns  of  both  1 850  and  1860,  we  have  subtracted  the  value 
of  the  slaves,  which  was  included  in  the  offici|il  aggregates, 
holding  ihem,  for  all  the  purposes  of  our  inquiry,  as  prodnc- 
ers  and  consuniers  of  wealth,  and  not  as  property,  otherv\i.«,rt 
than  the  laborers  of  any  other  country  are  a  part  of  their  na- 
tlawal  wealth  and  resources. 

The  property  value  of  the  loyal  States  at  mid-summer, 
1SG3,  we  have  estimated  by  addirg  to  its  amount  in  1660 
the  average  increase  of  the  decade  ending  that  year,  and  not 
at  the  market  prices  ruling  in  1863. 

The  estimates  for  the  other  periods  in  the  table  for  which 
no  authority  is  quoted,  are  our  own,  under  guidance  of  such 
•data  as  we  could  command. 

The  value  of  the  year's  products  in  1860  is  obtained  Vj 
tiking  the  agricultural  products  of  that  year  (given  in  quan- 
tity in  the  preliminary  report  of  the  Bureau,  but  not  priced) 
at  90  per  ceiit.  increase  upon  those  of  1850;  by  subtracting 
from  the  value  of  the  manufactures  one  third  for  the  ra.v 
materials,  which  are  included  in  the  estiiT»ate  of  the  agricul- 
tural values;  and  by  'idding  400,000  000  for  the  profits  of 
commeice. 


81 

We  have  not  room,  here,  to  describe  the  process  by  which 
we  obtain  the  year's  product  for  1800  in  the  %a^  States. 
No  -labor  or  care  has  been  spared  in  obtaining  it. 

The  annual  product  put  down  in  the  table  to  the  United 
States  in  the  several  periods,  is  in  all  instances  grea!  ly  be- 
low  the  truth.  The  share  allowed  to  each  person  sta'ads  at 
162,28  in  1840,  and  at  |86,41  in  1850;  but  the  expenditure 
or  consumption  per  head,  in  these  years,  cannot  be- estimat- 
ed at  less  than  $100  ;  and  the  consumption  per  head  in  i860 
was  at  least  equal  to  the  amount  allowed  by  the  stated 
production  of  the  year.  Beside  this  deficiency  of  provision 
for  the  current  subsistence  of  the  people,  there  is  the  accu- 
mulation of  capital  wealth  to  \iG  accounted  for,  amounting  to 
2,410,000,000  in  the  former  period,  and  to  the  enormous^ 
sum  of  8,009,000,000,  or  an  increase  of  130  per  cent,  in  the' 
latter. 

We  need  not  stop  here  to  estimate  the  spontaneous  growth' 
of  our  national  wealth,  or  that  enhancement  of  value  which 
occurs  in  real  estate  by  the  rapid  settlement  of  our  wild 
lands,  and  almost  as  rapid  growth  in  the  value  of  the  fixed 
property  in  the  older  States,  which,  of  course,  would  account 
for  a  very  considerable  part  of  the  apparent  disparity  between 
the  property  value  and  the  annual  production,  because  an 
unquestionable  deficiency  in  the  reported  products  occurs  in 
the  following  particulars,  for  which  the  Census-takers  are  not 
responsible  : — 

They  take  no  account  of  the  current  consumption  of  our 
agriculturists  and  of  their  families  and  employees  In 
1840.  this  class  amounted  to  three  fourths  of  the  total  pop- 
ulation, and  approached  the  same  proportion  in  1850;  nor 
ftre  any  manufacturing  or  mechanical  products  of  the  year 
returned  whose  annual  value  falls  below  $500.  Beside  all 
this,  which  probably  amounts  to  one-fourth  of  the  tot^l  an- 
nual product,  no  account  is  taken  of  the  labor  cuiployed  in 
clearing  and  improving  land,  in  building  railroads,  canals, 
hon-jc-*,  manufactories,  steamships,  and  other  vessel:* ;  nor  of 
the  labor  employed  in  coal-mines  ;  nothing  of  the  products 
of  the  fine  arts,  nor  of  a  large  portion  of  the  product-*  of  the 
useful  arts;  all  of  which  may  be  very  safely  stated  as  equal 


82 

to  half  ihe  value  of  the  agriciltural  and  manufacturing  pro- 
ducts noticed  by  the  Census  takers.  Sonne  cf  these  apptar 
in  the  valuation  of  the  propcity  of  the  country  in  the  decen- 
nial Census  appraisements,  and  help  to  swell  the  obvious 
disparity.  The  very  considerable  increase  of  the  values  of 
1803  over  those  of  IS^xO,  is  owing  to  the  fact  that  the  growth 
of  wealth  in  the  loyal  States  is  so  much  greater  than  the 
average  enhancement  in  the  whole  Union  before  the  sever- 
ance of  the  estimates  given  in  the  tabular  statement.  The 
most  surprising  of  our  statements  are  precisely  those  which 
have  been  nio^t  carefully  considered  and  best  verified. 

United  States  debt  and  interest.  Our  debt  is  ofTicial  for 
every  period  slated.  For  18t)3  it  is  given  as  it  stood  on 
the  books  of  the  Treasury  on  the  1st  of  October.  It  is  trea- 
ted in  the  other  columns  of  the  table  as  chargeable  upon  th« 
people  and  property  of  the  loyal  States  only.  And  the  an- 
nual interest  stated  is  the  amount  which  the  principal  would 
carry  for  the  year  ending  October  1,  1864,  if  the  principal 
remainfd  so  long  unchanged.  The  proportion  of  this  inter- 
est to  the  annual  income  of  the  year,  is  stated  at  1  3-10  per 
c«nt.  This  would  be  true  if  the  annual  income  of  the  peo- 
ple were  correctly  given  ;  but  if,  as  we  suppose,  this  is  put 
down  at  two-thirds  of  its  real  amount,  the  burden  of  inter- 
e«t  upon  the  people's  income  would  be  something  less  than 
nine  tenths  of  1  per  cent. 

The  proportion  of  the  total  debt  of  the  United  States  ho 
the  private  property  cf  the  loyal  States,  stated  at  8}  per 
cent,  nearly,  means  that  the  value  of  our  property  in  18C3, 
at  the  prices  rulitig  before  the  rebellion,  if  standing  at  the 
amount  given  in  the  property  column  twenty  years  hence, 
or  at  the  maturity  of  the  debt,  would  be  as  8100  to  |8.77 
of  the  dcbt»  and  takes  no  account  of  the  enhancement  of  our 
wealth  in  the  mean  time.  What  that  shall  be  when  the 
debt  is  to  be  reimbursed,  cannot  now  be  foretold  or  even 
imagined.  If  if.  shall  increase  during  the  two  next  decen- 
nial periods  following  the  year  1SC3,  at  the  rate  of  the  pe- 
riod bttween  1850  and  18G0,  the  suni  will  be  above  70,- 
000,000,000,  or  double  the  present  computed  value  of  Great 
Britain  and  Ireland  j  and  a  debt  of  2,0o0,000,000  would 


83. 

then  be  less  than  3  per  cent,  upon  the  principal  of  the  wealth 
pledged  for  its  ultimate  discharge,  while  the  burden  of  its 
interest  upon  the  annual  income  of  the  country  would  be 
lessened  in  corresponding  proportion. 

[f  we  take  the  estimated  wealth  of  Great  Britain  to  be 
equally  underrated  in  1816  and  in  1858,  we  sec  how  the 
burden  of  national  debt  declines  relatively  to  the  value  of 
the  property  which  must  pay  it.  [n  these  forty-two  years 
the  incumbrance  fell  from  40  to  13  per  cent,  of  the  national 
wealth,  while  the  capital  of  the  debt  was  reduced  less  than 
3,000,000  on  4,200,000,000,  or  the  burden  fell  from  40  to 
13,  while  the  debt  fell  only  as  from  40  to  37,  or,  in  other 
words,  the  debt  of  1858  would  have  been  a  charge  of  37^ 
percent  on  the  property  of  1816,  but  was  only  13.4  per 
cent,  of  the  property  of  1858.  The  dcbtof  the  United  States 
in  1816  was  a  charge  of  7  per  cent,  on  the  property  of  that 
day  ;  in  1860  it  iFould  have  been  no  more  than  nine  tenths 
of  1  per  cent.;  and  a  debt  of  1,222,000,000,  which  is  S.|  per 
ceot.  of  the  computed  wealth  of  the  loyal  States  In  1863, 
would,  at  a  rate  of  increase  in  valuation  in  the  next  twenty 
years  no  greater  than  occurred  in  the  last  ten  years,  sink  to 
1   6-10  per  cent. 

General  Remarhsi — The  increase  of  the  total  population 
of  the  United  States  in  the  ten  years,  1850-60,  was  35.52 
per  cent. — of  the  total  population  of  the  free  State?,  41  62 
per  cent.;  of  the  loyal  States,  40  22  per  cent.;  of  the  total 
population  of  the  rebel  States,  25  ;^7  per  cent;  of  the  (itQ 
population  of  the  rebel  Stages,  26  32  per  cent ;  of  the  slave 
population  of  the  rel^el  States,  23  5  per  cent.;  of  the  whole 
slave  population  of  the  Union,  23  38  per  cent;  and  of  the 
total  free  colored  population,  12  3  per  cent. 

The  increased  value  of  the  property  of  the  United  States 
in  the  same  period  (1850-1860)  was  120.7  per  cent— of  the 
property  of  the  free  States,  124  52  per  cent.  ;  of  the  loyal 
slave  States,  132.04  percent.;  of  the  rebel  slave  States, 
139.76.  (The  value  of  the  slaves  in  neither  case  included.) 
The  frreater  iurrease  per  cent,  of  the  wealth  of  the  slave  than 
•f  the  tV'ie  Stat.cs,  in  the  decide,  is  raamly  attributable  to  th« 
'{iiantity  of  cotton  produced  in  the  period,  and  the  price  it 


84  . 

commanded.  From  1840  to  1850,  the  exports  of  cotton  to 
foreign  countries,  were  valued  at  $533,000,000,  and  at  an 
average  of  7.7  cents  per  pound  ;  in  the  period  1850  to  1860, 
the  exports  amounted  to  $1,236,000,000,  at  an  average  of 
lOJ  cents  per  pound.  To  this  must  be  added  their  exports 
of  tobacco,  rice,  and  breadstuffs  and  provisions,  and  the 
amount  of  all  these  articles  sold  to  the  Northern  States.  But 
to  understand  the  value  of  the  greater  increase  as  expressed 
in  percentage,  it  must  be  recollected  that  the  capital  wealth 
oCthe  rebel  States  in  1850  was  but  $2,289,000,000,  slaves 
included,  while  that  of  the  loyal  States  was  $4,846,000,000, 
— th«  latter  havinp;  increased  their  capital  $0,050,000,000, 
the  former  but  |2  913,000,000, — the  Census  valuation  of  the 
slaves  being' embraced  in  these  aggregates.  But  the  char- 
acter of  this  enhanced  wealth  is  also  a  matter  of  prime  im- 
portance in  estimating  its  worth  as  a  measure  and  index  of 
prosperity.  The  real  estate  of  the  rebel  Stotes,  as  reported 
by  the  marshals  in  1860,  was  43  per  cent,  and  the  personal 
57  per  cent,  of  their  property  ;  while  in  the  loyal  States  the 
real  was  (56  per  cent.,  and  the  personal  but  34.  The  aver- 
age ratio  of  real  to  personal  estate  in  New  York,  Massachu- 
setts, and  Pennsylvania,  is  75  per  cent,  of  the  total,  or  j^ 
a^inst  i**^.  the  average  of  the  rebel  States.  South  Carolina,' 
Georgia,  and  North  Carolina  have  but  30  per  cent,  of  their 
wealth  in  real  estate,  and  70  in  personal.  The  proportion 
of  fixed  to  floating  capital  in  a  nation  is  the  truest  measure 
of  real  wealth  and  of  its  grade  of  civilization.— [From  the 
National  (Northern)  Almanac  for  1864. ' 


Foreigners  in  Oie  Confederate  States. — It  appears  from  the 
United  States  census  for  1860,  that  the  number  of  foreigners 
in  the  States  now  forming  the  Confederacy  were — Alabama, 
12,000;  Arkansas,  4  000;  Georgia,  11,000  ;  Kentucky,  59,-

ncssee,  20,000;  Texas,  47,000;  Virginia,  35,000.  Total,

THE  BRITISH  COTTON  TRADE. 

(r>T  Geokok  MoHekey  ) 

The  quantltT  of  cotton  and  cotton  goods  in  the  hands  of 
aU  clasjio  in  the  United  Kingdom,  was  greater  on  the- first 
of  January,  1802.  than  at  any  other  time-,  and  ihe  stocks 
vcre  less  on  the  1st  of  ./aniiary,  1S64,  than  on  any  previous 
oceasion.  The  chief  falling  ofl'was  in  yarns  and  goods — a' 
dinunution  in  clothing  rriaterial  that  is  seldom  alluded  to; 
p-nd  the  jjnportance  of  which  has  not  been  fully  considered. 
'J  ho  follov.ing  may  be  regarded  as  a  fair  estimate  of  th« 
wants  of  the  United  Kingdom,  for  1864: 
.I'hc  home  consumption  will  require  in  \veight 

of  present  inferior  sorts  of  cotton,, . .  .(lbs  )  275,000,000 
The  exportation  of  cotton  goods,   if  only  the  * 

same  as  last  year, 600,000,000 

The  exportations  of  raw  cotton,  if  only   the 

same  as  last  year,. 240,000,000

crease bince  1st  Jan.  (to  April) 
over  last  year .fc  15,000,000-1,058,000,000 

Deficiency,. (lbs.)       57,000,000 

With  stocks  of  everything  in  the  shape  of  cotton  and  cotton 
good?  exhausted. 

fncUided  in  the  receipts  of -cotton  last  year  were,  as  b«- 
fire  remarked,  all  the  old  stocks  of  cotton  attracted  from 
the  interior  of  India,  China,  Egypt,  etc.,.  by  reason  of  the 
high  prices  that  prevailed  in  England  in  the  latter  part  of 
1862.  It  c.innot  be  supposed  that  the  increase  in  the  pro- 
d'jc'ion  ih'-  vcar  will  more  than  balance   those  old  stocks, 


93 

though  in  the  preceding  table  an  addition  of  22  per  cenf. 
has  been  made  over  the  importations  of  raw  cotton  in  1803 
for  the  estimate  of  18G4.  To  be  sure,  the  incease  so  far 
this  year  has  been  at  that  rate,  but  there  is  no  likelihood  of 
its  being  kept  up  when  reference  is  made  to  the  sources  of 
supply,  through  the  whole  twelve  months. 

The  importations  into  the  United  Kingdom  fof  January, 
February  and  March,  1863  and  1864,  arc  thus  given  :

HISTORICAL  RECORD. 

The  existence  of  the  United  States  of  America  as  a  sepa- 
rate and  independent  nation  usually  dates  from  July  4, 1776,  - 
when  the  second  Continental  Congress  passed  the  Declara- 
tion of  Independence,  dissolving  all  connection  with  Great 
Britain.  The  colonies,  however,  were  vTrtually  under  their 
own  government  from  the  tjme  of  the  meeting  of  the  second 
Continental  Congress,  MajV  lo,  1775,  which  body  continued 
its  sittings  during  the  greater  part  of  the  Revolutionary  ^ 
War,  and  had,  the  genera'^^uirection  of  aflairs.  The  powers 
of  this  Congress  were  not  defined, — there  was  no  settled 
form  of  government ;  but,  their  authority  being  of  a  revolu- 
tionary or  provisional  character,  they  exercised  such  asiha 
necessities  of  the  times  required.  The  Revolutionary  Gov- 
ernment continued  until  the  Confederation  was  organized, 
the  articles  for  which  were  adopted  by  the  Congress  as  ear- 
ly as  November  15,  1777,  but  were  not  finally  ratified  by 
all  the  Colonies  until  March  1, 1781.  On  the  following  day 
(March  2,  1781)  Congress  assembled  under  the  Confedera- 
tion. The  Confederate  Government  was  intended  to  be 
perpetual*;  but  it  was  soon  found  to  be  so  defective,  inefi- 
cient,  and  even,  powerifss,  that  a  convention  of  delegates 
was  called  to  meet  at  Philadelphia  on  the  14th  of  May, 
1787,  *'  for  the  sole  and  express  purpose  of  revising  the  Ar- 
tides  of  Confederation,'and  reporting  such  alterations  and 
provisions  therein  as  shall  render  the  Federal  Const iiui ion 
adequate  to  the  exigenci'esof  the  Government-  and  the  pre- 
servation of  the  Union."  The  Constitutional  Goternment 
was  the  result  of  the.  deliberations  of  this  convention;  for 
they  adopted,  on  the  17th  of  September,  1787,  that  great 
and  wise  charter  known  as  the  Constitution  of  th^'  United 
States.  ■  Eleven  of  the  States  having  ratified  this  Constilu- 


05 

tion,  Congress,  on  the  17th  of  September,  1783,  resolved 
that  it  should  go  into  operation  on  Wednesday,  the  4th  day 
of  Mtirch,  1789.
